United Struggling To Get 11 Men Fit For Saturday

Fergie’s facing one of the nastier selection headaches ahead of the visit of Blackburn: United will miss some fairly important players.

Darren Fletcher, Danny Welbeck, Ji-sung Park and Gary Neville are all out while Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Ryan Giggs are major doubts. By all probability, the team sent out won’t resemble our strongest line-up…

There are good news though: Darren Fletcher, whose absence was so crucial at Anfield, is back in training and looks certain to be fit for the game at Stamford Bridge next weekend – which we might even surrender right now if he’s not gonna make it.

Vidic’s problem is more worrying: apparently, he’s been sent to a specialist to determine the root of the calf problem that’s been troubling him for weeks now. With Rio Ferdinand, we can hardly be surprised: in the last 12 months he spent more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. Almost.
